Attention! Below is my feeling towards the trip and some advice, if you don’t wish to read, scroll down and it is an itinerary to download.

I had been traveling to Bangkok during my semester break with my elder sister. It was a good experience as I enjoyed planning the itinerary and felt the different culture at there. I felt more better when I brought my sister there. She was a good trip partner, always obey to what I had planned or where I want to go. Besides, she is a good cameraman too.

Bangkok can be said as the city that Malaysians like to travel the most. The clothes, food and culture have been the attraction for me. As a “poor” student, I choose Bangkok as my first trip to overseas. I booked the flight in February and my sem break was same with the government’s schools’ holidays, so it was expensive. I spent nearly half of my budget at flight ticket. So, I booked cheap accommodation so that I had more money to buy buy buy! Accommodation was booked through Airbnb app. I downloaded the app with referral link from other (dunno from which blogger edy), so I enjoyed discount of RM120 of my first booking exceeded RM290.

Although it was shared bathroom in Dozeoff Guesthouse, but it was only shared with one other room. So, you no need to worry about the cleanliness. The room was super comfy, I booked a double bed room, and it was hanger and mini sofa in the room. It had shoe rack too. No fan in the room, but it was air conditioner. Sound insulation was no so good but don’t worry, the people there won’t talk with louder voice. Quite quiet at night. Location is perfect, near to MRT Silom (700m), BTS Chong Nonsi (400m) and BTS Sala Daeng (400m). The room used password to lock, so you no need to worry you lost the key. Highly recommended for those who want to save money and experience the culture to stay here. A lot of traditional food stalls nearby.

Most activity were carried out as planned, just only less shopping at Siam Paragon and Siam Square One as a “poor” student don’t have so much budget to buy the branded clothes.
